US rolls out carrots and expands access in push to get holdouts vaccinated against Covid-19

CNN  

CNN — The United States is offering up freebies, expanding the pool of those eligible and shifting access to local pharmacies in its attempts to encourage vaccine holdouts to get inoculated against Covid-19. Still, the US vaccination rate has declined from its peak last month, pushing officials to offer new incentives, known as carrots, to further encourage the wary, hesitant and inaccessible to get vaccinated. Krispy Kreme, Budweiser and Nathan’s Hot Dogs are offering free doughnuts, beer and wieners, respectively, while New Jersey introduced a “shot and a beer” program to give free beer to those who get vaccinated. Republicans and teenagers next up for vaccinations Confidence in the Covid-19 vaccines has been sharply split along partisan lines, but polling published Thursday suggests Republicans are becoming less reluctant to get vaccinated. “The fact that a majority of Republicans are or want to get vaccinated, and fewer of them are definite no’s, shows that progress is possible even among the most reluctant groups, even if the process of moving from no to yes is a slow one, ” said KFF President and CEO Drew Altman.
